Three to See this week looks into the "near present" with posts on the blurring of the physical and digital worlds, CV mash-ups and Generation-Y in the workplace.

Pranav Mistry's talk for TED: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology is truly awesome.  Mistry has been working to develop ways of bringing the physical and digital world together and has succeeded with SixthSense Technology.  Watch the clip:

In Mash-Up my Career on Digital Recruiting, Sinead Bunting makes the connection between the CV or Resume and new mapping tools that allow individuals to tag their personal history, experience or aspirations to a location.  Bunting suggests that in the future candidates will be logging their career history not on CV's or Resume's but will instead create "a 3G biography" or "digital Career portfolio" that includes this type of information.

After reading the post I realised that, almost without thinking, I've been laying the foundations for the kind of mash-up journal described - every photo or video tagged or event RSVP'd represents a stop-off in my own trail across the Earth - some of which I share professionally and some personally.  I'm interested to know what recruiters make of this - will information presented in the way described by Bunting help to make sourcing and selection decisions?

My third pick this week comes from Jason Seiden: This Is Bullsh**t: Managing Generations.  Seiden opens the post with the statement "Picking your managerial approach based on someone's birthday is astrology not strategy".  This is a fantastic and provocative piece in which Seiden argues that organisations should worry less about perceived differences in generations because they are not actionable and are masked by others factors such as:

• Demographics
• Economics
• Politics
• Technology
• Career Phase

I hope you enjoy this week's Three To See.
